microbend® 2SR True Flexible Coaxial Cable Assemblies
Product Description
microbend® 2SR has all of the benefits of the standard microbend® but with DESC and MIL-STD-348 compliant SMP female connections on each end. microbend® 2SR replaces custom length, predefined bend configuration .047 semi-rigid cable with true flexible, standard length, cost effective coax cable for use as internal interconnections between RF modules in communications systems. microbend® 2SR is 100% tested over the entire operating frequency.
Product Features
- Precision SMP female connectors mateable with GPO™ from Corning Gilbert.
- Lower insertion loss than .047 semi-rigid cable
- Stock delivery on standard lengths
- Triple shielded for high isolation
|
- Eliminates need for costly right angle connectors
- Frequency range up to 40 GHz
- Guaranteed 10 lb. pull force
- 99.9% lead free

Phase Versus Flexure Reference Data
Astrolab performed phase tests on hundreds of microbend® cable assemblies. Following are two standard Astrolab tests with the corresponding data. In test one microbend® 2S –5 assembly's were flexed 90° in a 0.1 inch radius directly behind the connector. In test two, microbend® 2SR –5 assembly's were flexed 180° with a 0.25 inch radius in the middle. Typical data is listed here:
